Dark chocolate and peppermint lead here, wrapped in cold tobacco, cigar leaf, dried orange and a woody, earthy edge. Several tasters flag a Port-cask influence that adds gingerbread and dried fruit depth. The catch runs through the reviews: the fruit stays thin and the 62.1% isn't always cleanly integrated, so a few people found it dry and austere where others found real character.
The community says- Chocolate-mint combo

How does Savanna Unshared Cask for France 2016 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Chocolate-mint, tobacco-heavy cask-strength Savanna Most find a characterful Savanna built on chocolate, mint, tobacco and Port spice. The recurring gripe: hot alcohol and short on fruit, with one taster finding it flat.

The alcohol could be a bit better integrated. Before buying, I feared the Port might be too dominant. Luckily, this did not turn out to be true and it gives the rum a good rating. For a higher rating, I miss the fruit. Still, nice spice, wood, and roasted aromas. Fun to drink. With longer oxidation, this bottling gets better.

Magnificent nose! On menthol and exotic fruits and vanilla. A much more disappointing palate with bitterness and astringency on the mango and an earthy side. Very disappointed after a nice promise. EDIT: tasted again after airing the sample, it's worse than at opening. There's nothing in this rum, it's flat, no length, not indulgent. Extremely disappointed! I don't understand the community rating...
Review by cigares
A very distinctive and pleasant nose of Läkerli (a Basel cookie with gingerbread). On the palate, the Läkerli is also prominent, with a slight vegetal note and a very light smokiness. An astonishing rum!
Review by TheRhumhoe
A particularly surprising Savanna for its age. The profile begins with a very pastry-like, round nose that is all about gourmandise. There's plenty of fruit of all kinds (strawberry, tropical fruit, grape, coconut), spices and very soft sweet notes. Tobacco, chocolate and woody notes add depth. After aeration, the nose reveals an appreciable hint of menthol, which blends well with the olfactory profile. The attack on the palate is very intense, marked by fruit (mango, pineapple, papaya, apricot, peach), floral notes and menthol. The greedy, pastry-like flavors remain, rounding out the finish. Spice and woodiness support the palate, with a little spiciness, without being distracting. The profile is very tasty. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is long, sweet and slightly mentholated. Spice, fruit, wood and pastry make for a seamless aromatic combination that works well and lingers for many minutes. A generous, rich and delicate Savanna that will delight fans of the distillery.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
👃 Boisé mentholé, thé vert, mixe de feuille de menthe poivrée et de tabac séché, fumée de bois salé, un peu de Weetabix à la vanille, jolie note de pain d'épices de Strasbourg. En arrière-plan, j'ai l'odeur de caramel de fruits laissé dans la marmite pour faire de la confiture, des fruits secs (raisins de Corinthe, canneberges), des agrumes séchés, pas mal d'orange séchées, de la pâte de fruits au coing, goyave, papaye. L'influence du fût de Porto est équilibrée et modérée, juste ce qu'il faut d'arômes de vin fortifié. Un très beau nez. 😋 Quelle claque de menthe, de menthol, d'amertume de chocolat noir, de tabac froid, de feuille de cigare consommé et laissé sur le porte-cigare, de poivre de Sichuan, de cannelle, de vanille déshydratée. J'ai aussi un peu de cuir, un aspect terreux, assez austère mais pas déplaisant. Quelques fruits secs mis dans un bocal avec de l'eau de vie de raisins. L'alcool est plus présent en bouche qu'au nez. ⛳ Sèche, amère, rêche même. Boisé présent avec toutes sortes d'épices, de vanille. La combinaison principale de cette sélection est toujours aussi présente en finale, chocolat noir/menthe poivrée. Sensation végétale et florale, terreux, vert. J'ai une note de fumée sèche de bosquet. 💡Un très bon UC qui a du caractère à revendre. L'association Rum traditionnel + chai humide + fût de Porto fonctionne vraiment bien. La force du fût booste les arômes dominants de menthe, chocolat, tabac, cigare qui fonctionne à merveille. Dommage pour l'intégration de l'alcool qui n'est pas parfaite et la finale qui manque de longueur.

Review by Rodolphe
A very beautiful traditional profile from Savanna with its usual freshness that perfectly matches the rancio brought by the cask. It's very pleasant, indulgent but not over the top, well balanced. It's a very beautiful bottle.
Review by Vincent D
Very rich nose: wood, tobacco, citrus, green apple. Chocolate, too. On the palate, the attack is initially lively and spicy. Then tobacco, a touch of menthol. Then chocolate. Surprisingly pleasant. The finish is warm and showery, chocolatey, with a touch of espresso bitterness. Another very successful unshared cask.
Review by passlemix
Nose a bit closed at first. Then clearly marked damp woodiness on the palate and nose, almost a bit too much. On the nose, round pastry notes, spicy and strangely almost a bit medicinal at times. Surprising. And a rather vegetal finish, not unpleasant but again surprising compared to the nose and palate profile... Price/pleasure ratio not quite there in my opinion at the release price, and at resale price let's not even talk about it, but it's still good, let's be clear.
Review by Mathieu Bgd
This rum is really very good. The alcohol may be a little strong, but the Savanna hallmarks are still there, along with the port cask. In short, a good rum, with spicy notes that further enhance its alcoholic strength.
Review by Julien Jean'Mich
On the nose, there's some solvent on first approach; this rum needs a little patience at the bottom of the glass to develop that sublime Port finish aroma. On the palate, it's incredible how well the alcohol is integrated: you can barely feel the 62.1% - what a success! It's round, spicy and woody, with the sweetness of cognac and port blending so well. The finish is quite long, and the spiciness lingers for a while on the taste buds, which is quite pleasant. For me, this Savanna is a fine discovery at a price commensurate with its quality. Don't be alarmed by its 62.1% - you can't really feel it, it's very well made - I really recommend it.
Review by Joël
Unfortunately very alcoholic in taste, a pity.
Review by Nicolas Sicilia
On the nose tobacco, wood, and yellow fruit (peach), some solvents are also present! On the palate it appears softer than on the nose, you find tobacco, nice wood, and yellow fruits, some spices are also present, a nice length with a slight astringency! A nice rum!
Review by Vidaa Wz
Belle entrée en matière avec un nez séduisant sur les fruits, peut-être l’influence du porto remarquant. En revanche des fruits jaunes, tels que la mangue et des notes de sucre brûlé, brioché très agréable. Peut-être quelques touches d’argumes. À bouche contraste, quelque peu avec un côté asséchant et un alcool vif, on retrouve la plus d’influence du fût de cognac, on est presque un peu frustré sur le manque de gourmandise
Review by Pavel Spacek
The rums from the Savanna distillery are some of my favourites. I recommend everyone to try especially the higher ester pieces like Grand arome or HERR. You haven't felt so much fruit in a few little drops of liquid for a long time.
Review by Morgan Garet
A good Savanna, on spices, damp wood, a powerful dark chocolate and incense. A slight astringency in the finish. It lacks indulgence, fruit...
